Monk in the Marketplace: Going Deep to Lead Large

by Jerome Daley

The compelling need for modern leaders is not more breadth but more depth. Christian men and women setting the course in today’s marketplace are often seduced by the do-more, do-it-faster culture that pervades our world in general and the business sector in particular…crippling their most important contribution as people of spiritual authority. With compassion and insight, this book will equip modern leaders with ancient tools for knowing God deeply and extending God’s rule in the marketplace and in ministry. Contemporary culture measures leadership relevance in size and charisma. The buzz shifts by the month, riding the latest book or talking head. It’s not that these nuggets are without merit so much as they lack staying power. More to the point, today’s Christian leaders often lack spiritual substance. I I was one. And what we’re crying out for is a more vital connection with God, a rhythm of practice that prioritizes the secret arena over the public so as to bring deeper meaning, wisdom, and character to contemporary challenges. To that end this book will explore modern applications from the monastic tradition, unpacking three principles and five practices from St. Benedict’s Rule of Life that offer profound relevance in today’s world.
